• Gu Yuena recalled losing to the mysterious person, being healed while unconscious, and sensing that a drop of her essence blood was missing.
• Gu Yuena realized Na’er’s consciousness had fully merged with hers and felt her strength had recovered, then remembered that she had to return to the Spirit Pagoda and keep her distance from Tang Wulin.

As the fleet headed back toward the Sun Moon Federation, Gu Yuena continued her secret plan, while Huo Yuhao waited anxiously at a magic array in the Undead Demiplane.

• Ha Luosa and Leng Yulai struggled to keep their damaged aircraft flying toward the Sun Moon Federation, while Chen Xinjie led the Combined Fleet toward the Star Luo Empire.
• Huo Yuhao waited excitedly and apprehensively before the body-reforging magic array in the Undead Demiplane, with A Bao and the others watching without knowing what he was doing.

Huo Yuhao spent two days nourishing Qiu'er's weakened soul before guiding it into the Magic Array to restore her body. When the process stalled, Star Demon God Vasak helped him realize that the array needed Qiu'er's connection to the power of fate, and the golden doll made from her fur merged into the light, leaving the restoration unfinished.

• Huo Yuhao flew to the Soul Beast Area and examined Qiu'er's soul in his Sea of Consciousness, using the Necromantic Heart of Silence to steady his emotions.
• Huo Yuhao nourished Qiu'er's soul with Spiritual Power for two days as A Bao guarded him and others gathered nearby.

• Star Demon God Vasak advised Huo Yuhao that Qiu'er's unusual nature meant the Magic Array alone could not complete the process.
• Huo Yuhao drew out a golden doll made from Qiu'er's fur, and it dissolved into the orb, turning the light golden.

Wang Qiu'er reflected on her life in the Star Dou Great Forest and realized that her lingering restlessness came from missing the Little White-Haired Girl who had once left her. She returned to Huo Yuhao, who embraced her in tears, and greeted him as Qiu'er.

• Wang Qiu'er wiped Huo Yuhao's tears with her paws and greeted him, saying, "Long time no see, Qiu'er."

Qiu'er reunited with Huo Yuhao in the Undead Demiplane, and her arrival released an energy that benefited its inhabitants and loosened several Demon Gods’ cultivation bottlenecks. After Huo Yuhao introduced her to the others, Qiu'er suggested they eat before he explained the soul beasts’ plight on Douluo Star.

• Qiu'er's awakening spread a strange energy across the Undead Demiplane, and Agares and the other Demon Gods felt their cultivation bottlenecks loosen.

• Huo Yuhao took Qiu'er to Soul Beast City, explained his arrangements for the Soul Beasts, and showed her the respect they gave her as the Emperor Auspicious Beast.

• Huo Yuhao asked Qiu'er where her soul had been after she sacrificed herself and learned that she had remained dormant, guided by instinct toward the Golden Dragon Spear.

• Huo Yuhao told Qiu'er he was determined to carry out his unfinished plan, and she promised to do it with him.

After discussing Di Tian and the Silver Dragon King, Qiu'er returned to the demiplane, and Huo Yuhao continued toward the Sun Moon Federation.

• Huo Yuhao detected the Sun Moon Federation's Combined Fleet and Tang Wulin, then concluded that Tang San could not use Tang Wulin to return directly to Douluo Star.

• Huo Yuhao sent Qiu'er back to the Undead Demiplane to rest and rode the Evil Orca King toward the Sun Moon Federation.

• Huo Yuhao awakened the remnant soul and asked who it was, but it managed only a few syllables before trembling and nearly collapsing.
• Huo Yuhao protected and nurtured the remnant soul, then checked the sleeping consciousness separated from the Silver Dragon King and thought about studying the essence blood he had taken.
• Austin Griffin asked Huo Yuhao to destroy something, and Huo Yuhao said he had ideas but that it was not yet time.

Huo Yuhao continued developing the Undead Demiplane and planned to use the Silver Dragon King's essence blood to help Xiao An. As Qiu'er asked why he worked so hard for others, Huo Yuhao said he acted because he believed these things should be done.

• Huo Yuhao put away the Silver Dragon King's essence blood and returned to the Undead Demiplane with the Evil Orca King.
• Huo Yuhao expanded training in the Cultivation Platforms as Qiu'er helped manage the growing community of Soul Beasts.
• Huo Yuhao told Qiu'er he would keep Xiao An safe and would not bring him to Di Tian or the Silver Dragon King until the child recovered his memories and his condition was resolved.
• Huo Yuhao took out the Silver Dragon King's essence blood, intending to refine Universe Creation Pills to help Xiao An absorb it.
• Qiu'er asked Huo Yuhao why he did so much for others, and Huo Yuhao replied that he simply thought it should be done.

Huo Yuhao refined nine Universe Creation Pills, and the Tree Demon God Bu Song gained a level after eating one. Huo Yuhao then fused a pill with the Silver Dragon King's essence blood, producing a silver-marked pill that stirred a strange longing in Xiao An.

• The Tree Demon God Bu Song brought Huo Yuhao medicinal herbs and stayed to watch him refine Universe Creation Pills.

• Huo Yuhao opened the furnace after another hour and revealed a pill with silver markings, while Xiao An felt drawn to the essence blood.

As the pill took effect, Xiao An saw a faint silver glow in his Dantian and experienced fragmented visions before returning to consciousness under Huo Yuhao's care.

• Huo Yuhao explained that he had combined the Silver Dragon King's essence blood with the Universe Creation Pill to help Xiao An absorb its power without harming his frail body.

• Huo Yuhao's cool touch pulled Xiao An out of the vision, and Xiao An opened his eyes to find Huo Yuhao's senior touching his face.
• Huo Yuhao released Xiao An and asked how he felt.

Xiao An took the Universe Creation Pill and broke through to one ring, gaining a pale golden Soul Ring with the Elemental Vision skill. Later, Huo Yuhao admitted to Qiu'er that he had treated Xiao An as a substitute for someone he had abandoned, while struggling with the possibility that Xiao An might regain his memories.

• Xiao An grew stronger and taller after the pill's power circulated through his body, and a pale golden Soul Ring appeared behind him.

• Huo Yuhao reflected that the pill had restored part of Xiao An's body and raised his Soul Power to rank eleven, but the unfamiliar look in Xiao An's eyes had unsettled him.
• Qiu'er asked whether Huo Yuhao could not bear to let Xiao An go, and Huo Yuhao confessed that he had treated the child as a substitute for someone he had abandoned.

Huo Yuhao accepted that his fear of facing the Sun Moon Federation came from unresolved guilt about his past, then continued gathering sea soul beasts while preparing for what lay ahead. As Xiao An’s cultivation surged and Huo Yuhao neared the Federation’s coast, he considered the risks surrounding Tang Wulin and the Golden Dragon King’s essence blood.

• A Bao, Leng Xiao, and Yue Ye urged Huo Yuhao to face his unresolved feelings, and Qiu'er encouraged him not to force himself to appear strong.
• Huo Yuhao recognized that his deeper resentment came from a way of thinking and an environment, then joined the others in reviewing plans and documents.

• After a month at sea, Huo Yuhao had gathered more than ninety percent of the sea soul beasts and was approaching the Sun Moon Federation’s coast.
• Huo Yuhao found that Xiao An’s soul power had risen from rank eleven to rank eighteen after absorbing Silver Dragon King Essence Blood, so he told Xiao An to stabilize his cultivation.
• Huo Yuhao suspected Tang San had left safeguards on Tang Wulin and considered how to obtain the Golden Dragon King’s essence blood without resorting to force.

Huo Yuhao reached Limit Douluo and sensed a path toward the divine level, but Douluo Star’s hostility and the Undead Demiplane’s limitations kept him from advancing. He planned to wait for the plane consciousness to recover, grow stronger, and prepare to replace the Spirit Pagoda, which he regarded as the main target in his effort to improve relations between soul beasts and humans.

• Huo Yuhao reached Level 99 and became a Limit Douluo, but still had no spiritual domain of his own.
• Huo Yuhao sensed that the absence of the Divine Realm left a path toward godhood, though Douluo Star’s laws suppressed him and would not accommodate a true god.
• Huo Yuhao decided not to advance because the Undead Demiplane could not withstand the transition and Douluo Star’s hostile plane consciousness might attack him.
• Huo Yuhao resolved to wait for the plane consciousness in his Sea of Consciousness to recover, cultivate to Quasi-God, and continue his plans concerning the Spirit Pagoda.
• Huo Yuhao identified the Spirit Pagoda as his primary target because it profited from soul spirits and represented the exploitation and near-extinction of land-dwelling soul beasts.

Huo Yuhao reflected on how the Spirit Pagoda’s council-based system had enabled exploitation, and why education and soul tools could help ordinary people resist those in power. He was deeply disappointed by the Spirit Pagoda’s treatment of soul beasts and ordinary soul masters, as well as its role in the destruction of Shrek City, but the chapter ended with another, unspecified problem troubling him.

• Huo Yuhao considered why he had founded the Spirit Pagoda with a council structure and recognized how its powerful factions could come to dominate it.
• Huo Yuhao concluded that education and soul tool technology could help ordinary people understand their situation and gain the power to resist.
• Huo Yuhao blamed the Spirit Pagoda for its dealings with the Holy Spirit Cult and its involvement in the bombing of Shrek City, which had killed and injured countless people.
• Huo Yuhao judged the Spirit Pagoda’s soul-spirit business exploitative, noting that ordinary families could be left with defective artificial soul spirits after paying for a chance to obtain one.
• Huo Yuhao remained disappointed in the Spirit Pagoda, but its affairs were not what was giving him a headache at that moment.

• Huo Yuhao spoke to Austin Griffin and snapped his fingers, making Austin Griffin disappear.

Huo Yuhao questioned Na'er after separating her consciousness from the Silver Dragon King, then spent a week restoring her soul. He began rebuilding her body with Qiu'er and the others present, hoping Na'er would trust them and reveal the Silver Dragon King's plans at the Spirit Pagoda.

• Huo Yuhao restrained Na'er in his Sea of Consciousness and explained that Gu Yue remained in her body and that he had separated Na'er to prevent her consciousness from being swallowed.
• Na'er gave Huo Yuhao her name and recognized him as Spirit Ice Douluo, but Huo Yuhao put her to sleep before she could speak further.

• Na'er's body began to take shape as Huo Yuhao hoped Qiu'er's presence would help her trust them and disclose the Silver Dragon King's intentions.

Na'er awoke in a restored body with gray hair and no power, and found Qiu'er alive beside her. Huo Yuhao confirmed her identity and admitted her plans involved the Spirit Pagoda, leaving Na'er wary as the group escorted her somewhere else to talk.

• Na'er regained consciousness in a lush forest, weak and confused by her altered body and gray hair.
